Gatsby Docs Starter 1.0

This Project was forked from Gatsby Advanced Starter

A starter skeleton with advanced features for Gatsby.

Developed for creating Documentation or Tutorial websites.

Demo

This template provides everything but the content. You could just write all your lessons in markdown files, configure a few lines of code, and have a completely built documentation website.

Changelog

Updated 3/17/18

• Updated Table of Contents system:
  • You now define your table of contents in the 'table_of_contents.json' file under the 'content' folder.
  • The GraphQl query in your 'lesson' template should match your table_of_contents.
  • The TableOfContents component does the rest.

This requires more upfront work, but I've found it to be infinitely better when your page count gets high. It's easier to move things around and have the ToC just work.

For a more complicated example, you can look at the repo for the site I built this for: Flutter By Example/

• Basic styling added to the 'post' template
